He’s right. And we do have 3/5’s that would be necessary (30 states).

But if he thinks the back-stabbing RINO bastards in either house would ever let it get to the federal level, he really doesn’t understand that the fight is between us (conservatives and the states) against them (nearly all politicians at the federal level).

Mark Levin is proposing the only viable way of taking this country back: a convention of the states to draft Amendments that restore states’ rights, the principles our Founding Fathers put in place, and to restrict the power of the federal government.

Read “The Liberty Amendments” for details.

For the results you seek simply do a search on “California’s Proposition 8.
The people can vote and decide and the courts can over-turn the vote, ruling it null and void.
Welcome to the USSA.

Romney lurks and laughs.
The issues of the last week and the growing list of candidates only make it more likely that Mitt will enter the race late and win.
Then in 2016 lose.
Never count Romney’s ego and sense of destiny out.
Everything is going just right for him in the primary.

Oh, deliver us from Romney. That he was ever our nominee was the signal to the world that we were ripe for the picking. Nothing so decadent that we wouldn’t make legal.
So, now it comes.

God be with us.

Scott Walker flip flopped yet again:

(1) Same Sex Marriage
(2) Ethanol
(3) Amnesty
(4) Common Core
(5) Abortion
(6) Auto Bailouts

From Milwaukee Sentinel - October 6, 2014

Asked if the U.S. Constitution should be amended to ban same-sex marriage, Walker downplayed the notion, saying, “I think it’s resolved.”

“For us, it’s over in Wisconsin,” Walker said of the fight over gay marriage. “Others will have to talk about the federal level.”

That won’t matter one bit. For one thing, blacks and Hispanics are moving left on this issues just like whites. For another, even if they don’t like it, history has proven that it won’t dampen their support for democrats. They are solidly leftist constituencies. That’s not going to change.

Did Roe v. Wade take abortion ‘off the table?’

That’s a very long road, but it’s a good start.

Combined with Ted Cruz’s idea to make SCOTUS accountable to the people through the ballot box as judges are around the country, this disastrous week for American jurisprudence may someday be just a bad memory. I hope I live to see it.

You use the Left’s interpretation of the facts to discredit the one fighting and winning against the Left.

Who’s side are you on?

Yesterday on Facebook a Catholic friend of mine was gushing over the SCOTUS decision and even included a nice little graphic picture of a Bible. It is so dismaying to me how many Christians are completely ignorant of the teachings of their own religion.

This morning I went through my list of FB “friends” and cut it down by more than half. If it wasn’t for my family members out there, I would delete my account completely. I will likely end up doing that at some point in the near future.

It's about time Presidential elections put social issues right up front because that's what people care about.

Taking something off the table, as they call it, just means leaving it right in the middle of the table for democrat fascists to talk about with Republicans saying, "we're not here to talk about the centerpiece on the table . . . " when in fact that's exactly what the democrats are beating them to death with.

And make no mistake, every single failed, expensive, corrupt, program the democrat fascists have put in place in the past 70 years has been sold as a social issue first with everything else a secondary consideration and Republicans left looking like dolts for talking about it indirectly or changing the subject.

I see the Rats losing 15% of the Hispanic vote and 20% of the black vote. More if they go for equal rights laws or press for religious acceptance. For Clinton her old white lady parts will not be enough to get these voters back.

This issue has gained support quickly because it has been marketed as a civil rights struggle to be able to love who you want to love, and a lot of people are down with it. But the real monster is going to be unleashed now that the USSC has supplied the momentum. Once people see what this is really about, the support will fall. Unfortunately, the horse has left the barn, but, in time, Walker's idea could find traction.

Or we could just become moral cowards and vote for moral cowards like the author suggests.

I’d like to see what the results of gay marriage would be in the voting booth. Let each state vote and then people can decide what society they want to live in.


Well, you saw the results of that vote in CA. The People stood up for - even in Lala land - traditional marriage (Prop 8). Then, the radical judicials overthrew the will of the People. Disgusting.

That’s why we need Congress to install laws protecting states rights, from SCOTUS’s rewriting of laws and the will of We the People. If Congress won’t act, then a COS is our next step.
